Lippmaa) Using the stoichiometric equation of growth and Monod type kinetic equation, a deterministic model of growth of microorganisms in fed-batch culture was built. A stochastic model of the process was developed on the basis of the deterministic description. A stochastic control algorithm which is using filtered data was developed.

Four apple varieties grown in Estonia were selected for the study-Antei, Melba, Kulikovskoye, and Orlovski Sinap. The must from the apples at various stages of ripening (unripe, ripe, overripe) underwent alcoholic fermentation using commercially available yeast strains. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was employed to assess the differences in volatile composition between the samples. Out of the variables analyzed in this work, apple variety turned out to be the primary attribute influencing the quality and aroma properties of apple cider. The effect of yeast strain and the maturity of the fruit was variety-specific where the volatile profiles of ciders made with Melba variety were the least influenced by the ripening stage of apples and yeast strains used for the fermentation.

It has a special user definable installation module for coupling different fennentors to the PC. "FennExpert" has built in editor and library of equations for the analysis of data for batch, fed-batch and continuous cultivation procedures. Cubic spline interpolation of data is used throughout for carrying out calculations which can be activated just by One click. Practically all the functions are accessible from the main window (screen) of the program through the mouse driven graphical interface. "FennExpert" has special utilities for the exchange of data files with other fennentation and spreadsheet programs. Graphical data can be printed out in publishable fonn.

The A-stat was used for determination of growth parameters of Escherichia coli KI2, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pseudomonas putida. It has been shown that the maximum values of specific respiration rates on different substrates investigated vary in E. coli and Ps. putida only little. The results obtained suggest that the maximum values of growth rates are limited by the capacity of the respiratory chain. It was shown that appearence of substrates in the culture media at high growth rates was "coupled" to the increase of growth yield YX02 value. The idea of two "life strategies" one for growth in conditions of limitation by a substrate and another for conditions of abundance of substrates is proposed.

Several 13C-13C spin-spin coupling constants were measured in the tightly coupled systems. Labelling patterns of the compounds were analyzed to identify the metabolic pathways functioning in the cells.

In this work the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288c in a synthetic medium containing ammonia and free amino acids, supplemented with yeast hydrolysate, was studied. Experiments with 15 NH 4 Cl and 15 N-labelled yeast hydrolysate were carried out to gain insight into which of these three classes of assimilable nitrogen sources yeast cells prefer. Co-consumption of all three sources was observed; approximately 40% of the total nitrogen in the yeast protein fraction originated from yeast hydrolysate, while free amino acids and ammonia contributed 40 and 20%, respectively. The results indicate that several amino acids are more readily obtained from peptides, most likely when the uptake of their free forms is competitively inhibited and/or repressed. During the second half of each fermentation, a decrease in the incorporation of yeast hydrolysate-derived nitrogen was observed. These results highlight the nutritional role of peptides in various yeast fermentations.
